Those interested in reading a Japanese pilot's account of the air battle over Wake should read 'The Miraculous Torpedo Squadron', the autobiography of Juzo Mori. Only recently translated into English, Mori's memoir describes his life in pre-war Japan, training to become an IJN pilot, flying in China, training for and carrying out the attack on Pearl Harbor, and his roles in the attacks on Wake, Midway and Guadalcanal. This is a must read for students of the Pacific War.
There was a Marine Wildcat pilot during the Guadacanal campaign who ran out of ammunition while attacking bombers that were targeting US Navy ships. He proceeded to crank down his landing gear and then repeatedly slammed down on top of one of them until it finally departed flight and crashed into the ocean.

Thank you for this, I've been researching Wildcat history, it's amazing what this aircraft did "throughout the entire war". Replaced by the Hellcat? Nope not so fast my friend, it continued performing substantial tasks throughout the entire war including taking part in the sinking of the Tirpitz by the Brits which is a very interesting piece of history. Wildcats were "active participants" at pretty much every naval battle throughout the entire war, name one and they were there: "fighting"! The Wildcats' final "replacement" was to be the Bearcat which never occurred. The F4F Wildcat as well as the P-40 Warhawk are truly unsung heroes that were much better and were very much more historically important and capable than they've been portrayed to be. Neither were categorically "dominant", but both were very strong opponents that could and did hold their ground in a fight. Their "fighter to fighter" kill ratios prove that fact.
Thank you for your elaborate comment! Yes, Wildcat was indeed one of the most important aircraft of the war. Although often dismissed as being 'inferior' to the Zero, it was still capable of fighting it on equal terms when properly used. I find it more interesting that the Hellcat which absolutely crushed the opposition.
I appreciate that! I think each viewer can select the style of a creator he or she likes the best. Some enjoy the pace, others find it too slow. Some like the topics, others like different ones and so on.
Little known fact about these Wildcats: The gear had to be manually retracted and they had no self sealing fuel tanks. I think if all 12 Wildcats had been in there air they would have done much more damage to the Japanese ships and aircraft. There were 4 pilots who flew the sorties against the Japanese ships on the 11th of Dec 1941. One of the pilots also sunk a R Class Japanese submarine.
As a former history teacher I can say that your show is fantastic. Try doing a few shows about Taffy 3 and the last battle in WW2 that had American army and German army with members of the French government. I mean what a movie.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback! As for the suggested topics, I'm limited to aviation subjects (for various reasons, including purely technical). But there's a whole bunch of topics left to be covered and I plan to cover many of them in the future.
Many years ago I read a book written by one of the surviving marines, i can't remember the name of the book or the author unfortunately. But I remember one detail from the anti aircraft batteries, they would move the artillery to a new postion after each attack making it near impossible for the aircraft to target them.
Yes, the coastal and anti-aircraft guns were moved on several occasions. But in the end, it was a small island and there were only so many places you could move them to.
Great work! Pity you couldn't get G3M models- those were beautiful fast bombers, and I was very impressed they were everywhere in the movie "Midway"- pity they couldn't feature A5M "Claudes" which would have been the more prevalent fighter used by the IJN, before being replaced by the Zero.
Thank you very much for the comment! Sadly, the 'Nell' isn't available in WT but there's always some compromise that needs to be done with these reenactments. Wake Island map is also more modern than December 1941. Claude is an interesting type, I hope to be able to show it in some future reenactments.
Happy to watch you again. Wake was a harsh battle. But many prisoners were use by japanese occupied until end of war. Plenty of them died. Few months after Coral sea battle and midway will change the deal
Time to get busy again :) Yes, there was a lot of harsh treatment of American prisoners and the contractors who were captured and made to stay on Wake to work met a particularly gruesome end.
@@showtime112 yes exécution by firing squad and bodies used by japanese soldiers for....bayonet training😱. Japanese commander was later hanging for war crimes
There was a relief carrier force trying to send similar reinforcements as I recall, but they did not arrive in time. Almost a Proto-Henderson Field situation.
Thank you for the positive comment! I believe the American strategy was to capture some islands and isolate others in order to wear the garrison down. Capturing all of them would have been too hard I guess.
Thanks for another positive comment! As for the platform suggestion, I'm a lot more at home with WT. Besides, IL-2 1946 is still quite outdated graphically.
Nope, before d day the allies tried to land on france, but all the tanks got destroyed and the allies captured and repelled, I can’t recall the operation name but it was a test bed to see how hard the real invasion would be, but the short of it is, the british and its allies tried to land and invade but they were stopped by zee nazee’s
The Wildcats were shooting 50 cal ammo and I wouldn't doubt that every 3rd, or 4th were incinerator rounds, those 50 cal's put a mean ass hurting on Japanese aircraft
@@dominiqueroudier9401 I'm not completely sure but I think only 3 types of ammo were used in the .50BMGs: ball, armor piercing-incendiary (this one ammo, does two things at once) and tracer. There were no "mine shells" (high explosive) for the .50BMG AFAIK. The Imperial Japanese Army and Italians used high explosive rounds for the 12,7x81mmSR Breda (originally Vickers) ammo. That's why Japanese nomenclature called the 12,7mm MGs for cannons.
@@Cuccos19 yes sûre, it was standard for P38, P47and P51 at end of ww2. Also used for F86 vs Mig15 but 4 différents ammunition called A.P.I.T because mig15 frame is strong and tracer help the small radar and gunsight to correct better the bursts
The 50 cals were very effective against Japanese bombers. One thing that surprised me in this battle was how much the Wildcats strafed the ships. Apparently, it caused plenty of damage too.
@@showtime112 Strafing the ships Bridge and you can take out the ships command. US snipers use to target the Japanese officers in the field, take them out and the Japanese squad loses their battle field effectiveness, take out the ships command and you just imagine a cascade of catastrophic events until another officer cobbles together a command structure.
I wonder if the US Marine squadron VMF-211 on Wake Island would have been as successful in repelling the Japanese invasion if they had been equipped with F2A Brewster Buffalos instead of F4F Grumman Wildcats?
My first answer would be no. But then again, Buffalo could have still been successful against unescorted Nells. It could also carry two 100 lb bombs to attack the ships so maybe they could have done something about the first Japanese attempt.
@@showtime112 : That was my thought as well. The US Marines could really have used the Wildcats lost at Wake at the Battle of Midway, where the Buffalo was shot down in droves by the Zero while achieving almost nothing.
Something like that! Although, the Japanese have initially assigned too few assets for this invasion. But they corrected that mistake (see part 2). Thanks once more for being around!
Can you make a video on the Anglo-Indian heritage of the Indo-Pak war of 1965. In which the Indian airforce had it's first ever kill in its recorded history which was made by an Anglo-Indian pilot.
Excellent story. On december 1941, the japonese had attacked a large part of the Pacific, the Dutch colonies, the french Indochina, and a multiple islands and the Philippines. At this time the F4F WILDCAT was the best of their planes but too much inferior against the Zero. I did not know this story of Wake Island, it will be interesting to follow the second part.

I wanted too make this aswell in wt as accurate as i could. Spent so much time. But had so many issues. No nells. Ai not being able to bomb properly. (Would drop all bombs at once) with no fix. No accurate weather for the time. I managed to get them to shoot there bomber machine guns at invisible positions as described. An no accurate ships. Good job tho.
Well, if you want to make these things in WT (or in other games for that matter), you have to be ready for some compromises. I think the only other option is making animation from scratch.

I wanted too make this aswell in wt as accurate as i could. Spent so much time. But had so many issues. No nells. Ai not being able to bomb properly. (Would drop all bombs at once) with no fix. No accurate weather for the time. I managed to get them to shoot there bomber machine guns at invisible positions as described. An no accurate ships. Good job tho.
Well, if you want to make these things in WT (or in other games for that matter), you have to be ready for some compromises. I think the only other option is making animation from scratch.
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
